- Packaging Information
Bermocoll EBM 3000is packed in polyethylene plastic bags. Net weight 20 kg. We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom. The empty bags can be recycled or burned.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
In unopened bags, Bermocoll EBM 3000can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of BERMOCOLL Prime 3500 will be influenced by the air humidity. At the temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of BERMOCOLL Prime 3500 will occur. Like many industrial processed powdery materials, cellulose ether dusts are combustible and can cause dust explosions. Dust formation must be avoided or kept to a minimum. Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open flames or hot surfaces.
